Hi Murphia,
I am new to this board...this is my first email. You seem to know a lot about meds and it is a relief to have a knowledgable person explain this stuff in a way a non MD can understand. I have had little success with Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft and Wellbutrin. The SSRI's made me an agressive rageaholic. When I wasn't angry, I was sleeping. The Wellbutrin made me very anxious, but initially it seemed to shut my brain down, but after 6 months I was anxious and paranoid. My GP thinks that I am BP. I do not have huge ups and downs but based on what I have read, I believe that I am indeed BP. I am taking Effexor and I do like it although I am still unable to concentrate. I thought of Topamax but it may be overkill for me. My GP suggested Geodon last week. Any thoughts on this new atypical? In combo with Effexor? Thank you. :)
